Go to Opie oils- they will tell you what type of gearbox oil you will need.

No idea- but your car is listed under Toyota>Altezza RS200.

[b] DO NOT Trust that web site[/b]. You must only use GL4 oil in your J160 6 Speed. All the oils that site list for the Altezza 6MT are GL5.

The only synthetic oils I've found that are safe to use are [b][url="http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=46&pcid=7"]Redline MT-90[/url][/b], [b][url="http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_lsd-oil.html"]TRD 75W90[/url][/b] & [b][url="http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtg.aspx"]Amsoil 75W90[/url][/b]

The reason why you don't use GL5 oil is the Altezza/IS J160 6 speed gear box has brass synchro rings. Most GL5 oils contain reactive sulfurs that cause damage to these synchros. So unless you want to rebuild your gear box in the near future don't use GL5.
